Finnish watchmaker Kari Voutilainen made a name for himself by launching his own brand in 2002, after spending years restoring centuries-old timepieces with Michel Parmigiani, developing his own tourbillon after hours at the Parmigiani restoration workshop, and teaching watchmaking at WOSTEP. In the more than two decades since its launch, his brand has earned a dozen awards at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, which has also recognized his comprehensive work as a rare exemplar of independent watchmaking at the highest level.
